The Pack

Sadly due to illness The Pack is cancelled.

In this experiment we will become breathing beings. Our bodies’ only objective will be to breathe, to feed with energy through our breathing. No ideas, no concepts, no structures, we will just be organic machines, a bit like animals, breathing. We will then form our own packs, like choosing our own new family, but only by instinct. Inhaling, sniffing, sensing. Who will we consider one of our own when we are purely energetic and breathing beings? Who will we choose to have beside us, to protect and nurture each other, to make us feel alive?

Maranta Rubiera

Breathing yoga teacher and award winning erotic writer.

As a certified yoga teacher she has focused in pranayama (breathing yoga) techniques, applying them in specialized lessons for all fields, from acting to public speaking and health treatments. Being also a shibari enthusiast, she has been able to adapt several pranayama exercises to the kinky experience, an unusual but surprisingly logical match between antique wisdom and contemporary sex. Maranta shares that knowledge during workshops she offers to the BDSM community as she travels the world. She tends to the vanilla community as well, giving "sensual breathing" workshops to fire them up a bit.

Maranta is also an erotic writer, her first novel in Spanish "Hembra" ("Female") about travel+sex was awarded with the xPlora prize in 2013. The second novel, all about bondage and kinky stories, is being co-published with the Xplore Festival for the 2018 Barcelona edition.
